Good things still need to wait? Millet box enhanced version evaluation

We know that although the development of 4K TV has entered the fast lane and most of the new large-screen TVs have already been 4K, the lack of 4K content cannot be ignored. Not only has it become the biggest obstacle to the performance of 4K TVs, but it is also one of the important factors that many consumers are still waiting to see in the face of 4K TVs. If the 4K output of the millet box can solve this problem, it is not just the success of a product. It is no exaggeration to call it an industry savior.


Of course, this top hat is too harsh to blame the millet box. Xiao Bian is still focused on the product itself.

In terms of appearance, the enhanced version of the millet box is full of millet design styles from inside to outside: Kraft hard shell packaging box, stand alone product in a prominent position, minimalist packaging and instructions. Of course, if the outside of the box is printed with the phrase “Always believe that good things will happen”, the rice taste is even stronger.


The first feeling of getting a millet box is small. The size of 101x101x19.5mm is not much larger than a sticky note. With the curved design of the four corners, it is even more exquisite. It may be that Millet also fears that the box is completely lost on the TV. There is a special emphasis on the bottom, while taking care of the texture-conscious user. However, please touch the party also note that the box is a matte appearance, although not easy to stick fingerprints, but the hand sweat and oil stains are a bit obvious, please caress gently.

The millet box-enhanced version of the remote control is exactly the same as that of the millet TV 1 generation, and it is also completely common with the millet TV 2. The wide range of remote control, basically do not specifically aim at the box (of course, like bluetooth does not specifically align the box or not). I do not know is not the illusion of Xiao Bian, millet box remote control key feedback is stronger than the millet TV, feel stronger than the millet TV 2 remote control.

China National Grid conducted evaluations on millet TV's 1st and 2nd generations respectively, and the slogan of Xiaomi TV's publicity was actually the "built-in millet box." The actual use found that the biggest difference between the millet box and the millet TV system is that the TV has one more signal source selection section than the box. All other functions related to video content, application stores, self-apps, and even child locks are exactly the same and smooth. The degree is also between Pak Chung. Unlike rumors, the enhanced version of the millet box in our hands does not need to be unlocked and other operations can be directly installed on the U disk app program.

The following pictures are video content list of Xiaomi box.
Regarding the video and picture quality, since it is not the case that the box does not matter, there will not be too much evaluation here.

From the official website of the parameters, the enhanced version of the millet box configuration in addition to memory and storage space is slightly inferior, the processor performance is higher than the millet TV 2. However, all of them read U disk video directly, playing a smooth 4K video in the millet TV 2 was slightly stuck in the millet box. This is a bit of annoyance for users who want to watch 4K movies through it.


For the millet box above, Xiao Bian gave a simple explanation. The following tells about the millet box, what you may not know.

After getting the millet box, Xiao Bian's first reaction was to be connected to the millet TV. After all, even if he didn't do special optimization, he still had the bonus of faith. However, it turns out that this does not work. Since the TV and box systems are almost the same, the remote control can also be used universally, so the UI of the Russian dolls is just a chaotic effect. Pressing the home button will directly return to the television homepage. It would be better to pick up TVs with individual brands. By the way, Sony and Xiaomi's box had a deep cooperation. This year's new Sony TV menu can be seamlessly embedded in the millet box interface. It seems that at a crucial moment, it must be Sony Dafa to save the world.
